No more scribbling dimensions on blocks of wood! Let the new LDM Connect app free you from the tedious and error-prone task of recording onsite project dimensions and measurements by hand! No more easy-to-lose scraps of wood or paper to find, store or track! LDM Connect keeps your productivity high by keeping measurements organized by Project, made clearer with Photos, and made instantly shareable via email to your crew or co-workers. The app connects your Bluetooth enabled Laser Dimension Master 165-BT laser distance meter, by Calculated Industries, with your Apple mobile devices. The main screen shows your list of Projects. The number of projects you can create is limited only by your smart device’s available storage. The number of Photos in a Project will be shown next to its name.
